@donncha crazy… my buddy was talking about that this morning

Some 177,000 homes were without power due to this storm, but I was very lucky. We didn’t lose power except for a brief period later in the day. That knocked out my Immich install because it was on an external HD. It was the motivation I needed to move it to a USB powered SSD, so the laptop running Immich will keep it alive.
